ed. A burglar lay on table. There
was in that burglar, at point unde-
termined, a bullet. Elsewise he would
have been elsewhere. A steel plate
was fastened on the burglars leg.
From this plate wire led to a tele-
phone, and wire from the telephone
ended in needle. This was the probe.
When the needle was put in the bullet
hole current set up. When the
needle struck the bullet the current
was broken or badly interrupted.
This noise Of breaking or Interrupt
ton could be heard in the telephone,
although the shock of the touch was
not to be felt by the hand of the oper-
ator. In this way the bullet was at
last correctly located in the burglars
liver.

a Blasphemer Struck Down.

From the Philadelphia News.
In the Chapel of st. Peter in Kassh-
thai, in Carinthla. Austria, new bells
were to be hung. The erection of a
scaffold in the beltry for hosting the
bells requiring more posts than had
been counted upon, the worlsmen used
some logs belonging to an inhabitant
OF the place, who, being away from
home, could not ne asked for permits
sion previous to the appropriation Of
his property. Nobody doubted he
would willingly sell the logs for the
public work being carried out. And
he was willing, but he demanded such
an extravagant price that the COM
missioners refused paying it. He flew
into terrible passion, swearing loud.

to the religion i'll general and saying
that he did not want any bells at all
and hoped the new bells would never

he had tempted the Lord and would
not escape his punishment. The man.

health, within few days after was
taken i'll and died suddenly on the
day preceding the hoistingof the bells.
The event did not fail to make a deep
impression upon the pious people OF
the parish.

The Family OF Wakefield.

As we lived near the road we often
had the traveller or stranger visit us
to taste our gooseberry wine. for which
we had great reputation; and Iprofess
with the veracity of an historian,
that never knew one OF them fiud
fault with it. Our cousins too, even
to the fortieth remove, ali remember
ed their affinity without any help
from the heralds' Office, and came
very frequently to see US. Some OF
them did us no great honor by these
claims OF kindred; as we had the blind,
the manned, and the halt, among the
number. However, my wife always
insisted that, as they were the same
flesh and blood, they should sit
with us at the same table. So
that, if we had not very rich, we gem
orally had very happy friends about
us; Tor this remark will hold good
through life, that the poorer the
guest, the better pleased he ever is
with being treated; and as some men
gaze with admiration at the eolors OF
a tulip or the wing OF a butterfly, so |
was by nature an admirer of happy
human faces. However when any one

The Pofcine Bomb and the
Mule.

From the Henderson, Ky, Journal.
Henry Simpson OF this city has
been in the habit OF using dynamite
for the purpose OF blowing old tree
stumps out OF the ground. The other
day he carelessly left the dangerous
compound lying by the side OF q
stump. The dynamite was mixed
with sawdust and gave out an exceed.
ingly pleasant odor. which attracted
the attention OF two of Simpsons
hogs. They finished herr inspection
OF the stuff by eating it, and then one
OF them, probably to aid and acceler.
ate digestion, began rubbing its side
against a post at the entrance OF q
mules stall. The mule remained pas.
sive for only q few moments, and
then, rs mules will do, gave the hog a
tremendous kick in the side. A ter
rife explosion followed, and when the
smoke and dust had cleared away the
hog was only found IN detachments,
while an enormous hole marked the
spot where he had stood. The mule,
OF course, survived, or it wouldn't
have been mule, but it was
the most surprised mule you
ever saw. The other hog escaped
and is: now at. large, greatly to the
discontinue of those in the habit OF
staying away from home at night.

DIR PLATES CHANCES.

Col PLATT WALKER, of Minneapolis,
is Minnesotian whose industry and
energy we admire. Col. WALKER has
conceived the idea that he wants the
doOrkeeperShip of the next house OF
Representatives, and with the true West
ern spirit has gone after it. But we do
not envy the gallant colonel his present
condition of suspense and anxiety.
One day his chances are good. the
next they are reduced to a minimum.
But despite this state of wearing uncer-
tainty the colonel is as smiling and
urbane as ever. At present his star
seems to be in the ascendant. fractional
quarrelS and personal jealouSieS have
rendered it improbable that any one of
the candidates hitherto announced shall
be successful, and Col. WALKER, who
does not possess such an undesirable
article as an enemy, expects, with some
reason, to be chosen as the compromise
candidate. And why shouldn't he be?
This election would simply be an
equalizing of things. Another Mime
apOlitan, and a Republican, too, holds
the responsible position of clerk to that
club of millionaires known as the
United States senate. The election of
another Minneapolitan to responsible
position in the Democratic house would
be in the nature Of establishing an equi
librium. For Col. WALKER could, Incl
dentally, keep q weather eye out for
any infractiOnS of the civil service law
that Col. JOHNSON, i'll the interests Of
his party and of friendship, might be
disposed to make. And the beautiful
urbaHity with which, bending his six
feet two inches OF symmetrical height
into a graceful curve, Col. WALKER
would tend the door," would be worth
coming miles to see.
MinneSOtianS will watch the daily
bulletin of the cOlOnel'S canvass with
cOmmingled interest and sympathy;
and, should he prove successful, they
will regard his victory no less per-
sOnal honor than a compliment to the
state which has the privilege of claim
ing him as a son.

The Brewers to Strike.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. ga strike or a
lockout involving all the union brewery
employees in the city Is imminent. AS
each man went to work this morning he
was handed circular, signed by all the
brewery firms of the city, announcing
that, as the Brewers union had broken
the agreement made last spring with
the various brewing firms, the Brewers
association has decided not to recognize
the union in the future. AS soon as the
action of the Brewers association was
made known, Richard Elsner, secretary
of the union, telegraphed to the secre-
tary of the national union at New York
explaining the situation and requesting
him to lay the matter before the national
executive board, who will have to order
the strike, in case that step is decided
on. Up to this evening no answer had
been received by the Brewers union
from the executive board at New York.

MONTANA ALL RIGHT.

EX-GOy. HAUsER, of Montana, has
been telling the ill-infOrmed Fasteners
something about Montana, and they
have hardly yet got over their surprise.
1t had been pretty general impression,
even in the West, that the losses of last
winter had almost entirely wiped out
the cattle business in the territory.
The governor not only declares that
this is not correct, but that the ranges are
still well occupied, even though The loss
was 50 per cent. The wonderful recu-
perative power of the territory is
evinced by the fact that, although the
money losses have reached 81, GOO, 600,
there has not been single failure. AS
a rule, the cattlemen are out of debt.
and, though severely hurt by last win
ter's severity, were not crippled. In
fact, It has been shown that the taxable
property Of the territory has increased,
instead of diminished.
In her mineral output Montana will
this year exceed all previous records,
and will score total OF SIG, 600. 900. plac-
ing her in the front rank. Railway
building has been active, and Helena,
the richest city of its size in the world,
has already begun to reap the adYan-
tage of competition involved in the re-
cent completion of the Manitoba to that
point. In every respect the territory is
fast preparing itself for statehood, and
